Virtual License Management

Data center server virtualization is an effective means of reducing hardware, power and maintenance costs.  But virtualization can dramatically increase the probability of software license non-compliance, for several reasons:

• the ease of duplicating operating systems and applications in virtual machines
•  virtual machine mobility—moving VM’s from one physical host to another
• the complexity of software license terms for virtual environments

Enterprise Compliance Manager with its VMware Discovery and Inventory Option is the only SAM product with comprehensive functionality for discovering, identifying, and determining license entitlements for software in a virtualized world.
